GEOSCIENCES FOR THE ENERGY TRANSITION

Credit Hours: 3 · Graduate

A broad introduction to the intersection between the energy transition and geoscience. The focus will be on subsurface technologies relevant to carbon mitigation, low carbon power, energy storage, and critical materials, while also introducing the climate and resource drivers for this transition. The course will introduce fundamental concepts, applications to subsurface systems, and their impact on the future of energy production and utilization. Recommended Prerequisite(s): MATH 101 /102 or equivalent; PHYS 101 /102 or equivalent; competence in a structured programming language.
